I really wish that you would-be Greek experts would toss that Strong's dictionary out of the nearest window. It causes more harm than good when those who do not know Greek use it. Here we have case in point. 'Ek' is a preposition that means 'from' or 'out of' hence 'denoting origin.' It does...

Really? What Greek word is rendered 'of?' How about an example of when 'of'' is added by translators based upon their own bias. Which 'manuscripts' do not contain 'spiritual gifts?'

What does Romans 10:13 - 17 say?

Wrong. Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Rom 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? Rom 10:15 And how shall...

The Law may have made men accountable for their own sins in the sense that now they sin in the likeness of Adam's transgression in breaking direct commands, but those not saved by Christ are still condemned for Adam's sin. Paul writing about 1500 years after the institution of the Mosaic Law...

Rom 5:12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned. . . Notice the phrase 'because all sinned.' The verb 'sinned' there is in the aorist tense. The aorist tense indicates completed action. It doesn't...

The problem of original sin is not a problem in the least when you keep in mind that Jesus was conceived in Mary's womb by the Holy Spirit. This insured that he was made flesh like those he came to save, but without sin. If you insist on your view there's still the problem of corruption that...

O.k., lets look at Hebrews 1:5 as well as 5:5, Acts 13:33 & Psalm 2:7 first. Heb 1:5 For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my Son, today I have begotten you"? Or again, "I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son"? Heb 5:5 So also Christ did not exalt himself to...

If Jesus was born with a fallen nature he would not have been the perfect sacrifice that God required. Had he been born with innate corruption he would have been unfit to be a propitiatory/expiatory sacrifice. It would have been an abomination to the Lord. This necessity begins in the types and...

Yeah, you know what Brad? I may have been created with the prophets as well because I predict that many here are going to begin ignoring your insulting, insane, heretical, incoherent posts. I honestly don't know how to even begin responding anymore to all of he nonsense you're spreading around...

Certainly. Take a look at what Paul says to Timothy about the Scriptures. 2Ti 3:14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it 2Ti 3:15 and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able...

The man Jesus was created like any other human being, but the eternal Son of God, the second person of the Holy Trinity was not. So no, it's not wrong to say that Jesus was created in that sense. Keep in mind that Jesus was one person with two natures--divine and human. Also, the idea behind the...

Thanks for the kind words Gary. Let me get back to you tomorrow on this. I want to do a bit more research so I can give you accurate information.

Hello Gary, The problem with the idea you've presented is simply that it's based on the word 'begotten' which is a mistranslation of a Greek word in John 3:16. The study of Koine Greek has come a long way since the days of Erasmus. Here's something you may want to consider: Wayne Grudem in...

I'm afraid that based on this incoherent rambling I quote above, it's you that operate under a gross misunderstanding of Romans 11:29. I can't make heads or tales of your statement. At this point, in order to support your error, you are willingly ignorant of the drift of Paul's argument and...

Theologians have recognized long ago that the Bible teaches that there is a distinction to be made between what they call the 'ontological' Trinity and the 'economic' Trinity. That is, the members of the Trinity are equal when it comes to 'nature,' 'being' or 'essence.' There is however, a...

You're probably right, but he's taking the 'gap theory' to a whole new level in my experience.

You may want to deal with the plank in your own eye before worrying about the speck in the eye of another.

Sheer nonsense Brad. Where in the world are you getting such off-the-wall doctrines? It certainly doesn't come from Scripture.

Really? What would you like to do with all of the Scripture that speaks of eternal punishment? For example: Mat 25:46 . . .And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life." Well Brad, it would seem that not only do you deny the plenary inspiration of the...
